PostgreSQL
|

##########
|
|
|
|
Test which version of PostgreSQL you have installed with:
|
|
|
|
:command:`psql -V`
|
|
|
|
You need PostgreSQL version 8.03.0000 or higher.
|
|
|
|
If you install PostgreSQL manually rather than from a package, make sure the
|
|
server is started when the machine boots.
|
|
|
|
.. _posgresql-add-user:
|
|
|
|
Add a User
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
You need to add a new user to PostgreSQL for the Bugzilla
|
|
application to use when accessing the database. The following instructions
|
|
assume the defaults in :file:`localconfig`; if you
|
|
changed those, you need to modify the commands appropriately.
|
|
|
|
On most systems, to create a user in PostgreSQL, login as the root user, and
|
|
then switch to being the postgres (Unix) user:
|
|
|
|
:command:`su - postgres`
|
|
|
|
As the postgres user, you then need to create a new user:
|
|
|
|
:command:`createuser -U postgres -dRSP bugs`
|
|
|
|
When asked for a password, provide one and write it down for later reference.
|
|
|
|
The created user will not be a superuser (-S) and will not be able to create
|
|
new users (-R). He will only have the ability to create databases (-d).
|
|
|
|
.. _postgresql-access:
|
|
|
|
Permit Access
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Edit the file :file:`pg_hba.conf` which is
|
|
usually located in :file:`/var/lib/pgsql/data/`. In this file,
|
|
you will need to add a new line to it as follows:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
host all bugs 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 md5
|
|
|
|
This means that for TCP/IP (host) connections, allow connections from
|
|
'127.0.0.1' to 'all' databases on this server from the 'bugs' user, and use
|
|
password authentication ('md5') for that user.
|
|
|
|
Now, you will need to stop and start PostgreSQL fully. (Do not use any
|
|
'restart' command, due to the possibility of a change to
|
|
:file:`postgresql.conf`.)
